Picture Prompt- July 30th

This is today's pictures prompt. I thought of it as very interesting because many different elements of nature are provided in it. This pictures, to me, seems to somehow represent life and growth, not just when it comes to Mother Earth, but in accordance to all things.

What do you think, though? Do a quick free write/free hand sketch/etc. that revolves around the theme and/or emotions that come to you when looking upon this picture. Don't be shy, now ;)

Quote Prompt- July 28th

Bullets cannot be recalled. They cannot be uninvented. But they can be taken out of the gun.  -- Martin Amis

 This is a quote about peace. The quote is clear to me but how do you interpret it? Does an actual picture, event, or struggle-- whether it be a real or imaginary one-- come to mind when you read?

Also, does this quote speak to you? Is it a testament of your life or of the life of someone you know? Do you wish to apply this small teaching to your life somehow or have you done that already?

Take some time out to do a quick free hand sketch/free write/etc. and see what you come up with while this quote is in mind. Don't be shy now. If something comes out from this prompt, don't hesitate to share ;)

My True Blood predictions this season

Guest post written by Jenny Pullman

Now I haven't read any of the True Blood books, but I somehow have a knack for predicting what's going to happen in the seasons of True Blood. In season two I totally called that MaryAnn was some kind of god or goddess and that's what she ended up being. Then I also predicted that Sookie would eventually kill Bill's maker because she was getting way too crazy and simply interfering too much with their relationship and Bill's after life.

I'm really big into spoilers for TV shows and there are plenty of them online for True Blood because it has such a huge following! I was looking up some of them one day when I ran across the website www.ClearWirelessinternet4g.com. After I looked through it some I decided to show it to my husband and we changed over our home internet service to the provider.

I think that my biggest True Blood prediction is that Eric and Sookie are going to continue dating even after he gets his memory back. She's still upset with Bill and I don't' think they're going to get back together any time soon.

Picture Prompt- July 26th

What comes to mind when you see this image? Does the lush green of the grass and wild foliage refresh you? Inspire you? Enable you? What about the whole look of an abandoned train track and tunnel? What does the overgrowth that covers the industrial marvel signify or stand for to you? What about the lone figure in red-- a woman, perhaps-- that stands at the mouth of the pitch black tunnel? What is their purpose for being present in this picture? What do they signify to you?

Hope you guys come up with something good. Don't be afraid to share whatever this picture prompt creatively enables you to to make.

Madness

Why are people so quick to call others crazy? Histerical? Psychotic, even? Though the person walks, breaths, and goes through the troubles of life the same as you do, you are so quick to label them as disturbed because they view the world through a different pair of specs. As a creative mind, I view the world as a mass filled with wonder, inspiration, change, and the unexpected. It's filled with things that I have seen, not seen, or unfamiliar.

Does the fact that I go beyond the restricting, unoriginal boredom of a four cornered box color me mad? Does seeing beauty and potential in something that you see as ugly and useless make me odd?

I feel sorry for you. You will never be able to understand the feeling of freedom and peace that comes with the opening of one's mental eyes. I cannot image how bland and how tasteless the world seem like through your specs.

Perhaps, we all need a little touch of madness in order to truly start living/

One Word Prompt- July 24th

Song Prompt- July 21st

This song is called "Cinderella Man" by Eminem.


Although Eminem seems like the type to use a lot of cursing and profanity in his work, they all seem to have an actual meaning behind it, much like this song does. Eminem usual raps about his daughters, his life, the lives of others, problems in our world, and overcoming obstacles. Not a lot of performers do that.
